The video shows Hawaii’s active Halemaʻumaʻu Crater in the
Kilauea Volcano, often view at close range by tourists, as the
crater’s rocky wall suddenly collapses into the lava lake,
causing an avalanche of dust to form.

The breathtaking imagery shows rocks crashing into the lava
followed by a massive red explosion with a wave of fire and plume
of smoke roaring into the air. Large spatters of molten lava go
flying everywhere.

No injuries were reported after the incident at the crater, which
has been shut to visitors due to its recently increased activity.
The stunning blast was captured by the observatory’s webcams
stationed around the summit.

The Halemaʻumaʻu Crater has been active since March 2008. The
lava lake was overflowing during the weekend and still poses a
potential hazard, according to geologists.
